As I told you in the other thread, you don't need this NOR a race manifold. They won't be helpful with your mods, ESPECIALLY with the stock cat in place. You're just buying parts that won't help and that are very difficult to install. The O2 is a major PITA that isn't worth the cost nor the gains (or lack thereof). Can you let us know why you're so deadset on these exhaust-related mods while retaining the stock cat and when you could get major gains elsewhere with other mods? Let me know, so I can steer you in the right direction or leave you alone, depending on the response...

You have asked SO MANY QUESTIONS, but have not acted upon them. You got an HKS SSQV without asking first, then had major problems, and got rid of it. You started several threads asking about an intake and whether or not you could get away with it without tuning. You never mentioned if you went ahead and got an intake and never said if you actually took everyone's advice and got a mail-in flash. Now, you keep asking about exhaust mods that aren't helpful nor necessary until much later in the modding process.

What you need to get are an MBC, a mail-in flash, a Walbro fuel pump, and a cat replacement (cat delete or hi-flow cat). This will put you around 300whp with a car that runs PERFECTLY. After these mods, then do cams. After cams, do an LICP and alky.

doesn't the o2 help resolve the spiking issues? From what I've read the stock 4g63 can quite a bit more boost than stock but spiking just seems bad....

that is a dsm issue when the o2 housings use to cause boost spikes or boost creeps by not being able to waste the gases off fast enough. not a problem on the stock evo o2 and not resolved by these products. i wanna see how much gains the works gives.
